Prayer

Prayer - Procreate (iPad app), Amazon Stylus

Experimenting with digital painting on my new iPad Mini with the app "Procreate". Excellent program.

Snow White

"Snow White" - Prismacolor/Copic markers
It started as a regular ol' Snow White picture...then it became a biomechanical-fairy tale mash-up.

Made a blanket

A new blanket I made for myself to replace my old one of 13 years, which is getting to be beyond repair. I only poked myself with a pin once so that alone was an accomplishment. Definitely a one-time project.

The Angler's Descent

"The Angler's Descent" - Pencils
Sister piece to: http://ashierk.blogspot.com/2011/10/beware-angler.html
Even monsters have to go away at some point! Again, experimenting with contrast (might have made it a bit darker in this version than the original.

Progression

"Progression" - Pencils
Sister piece to the previous one, experimenting with contrasts.

Tumblr

Just made a Tumblr account for fun (and to be one of the cool kids!)

It's bare of course, but it won't be for too long!

"The Subtle Manifestation of Ego"

"The Subtle Manifestation of Ego" - Pencils
Playing around with a little bit of surrealism, I felt a little inspired by HR Giger (though no biomechanics in this piece), showing what I think the manifestation of ego would look like. I might do a series, with her head progressively getting larger in each one.
